Come along to our photo sessions to dust off your camera and get snap-happy with a professional photography instructor.

Brush up on your camera skills and learn new photography techniques whilst on a photo walk class with other local keen photographers!

We run two hour photography sessions based on a photography theme/technique/style and they take place in various locations in Hervey Bay .

  • New to photography? We also run a popular 3 hour Beginners Guide to Photography Class once a month. And once in a while we will run special niche 3 hour classes, for example, Astrophotography - so do subscribe to our newsletter to know when the next on is!

  • Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

  • What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!

    The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.

    Join the Hervey Bay Photography Group on Facebook to share your photos after the session.

    I took this photo back in October of 2012, we were camping at Carnarvon Gorge and I had my old nikon D7000 camera with me which was new at the time,as I was exploring, I seen this movement out of the corner of my left eye, and when I realised it was an Echidna, I was so excited. He was not bothered by me as he was to busy searching for his ants it that log.So I quietly got closer and took a couple of shots.Iwas so happy to encounter such a beautiful mammal.

    Title or Location: Maryborough Show Grounds.
    My friend and I decided to take our cameras out the Maryborough Show and try out some long exposures. After work and by the time we got through the car park, it was getting dark. I couldn't believe the results of the patterns and images the lights formed in the night sky. This is just one of the rides which I called "The World on a Truck". It's hard to believe that there are people in there spinnning around, laughing and having a great time. I did too that night although I had my feet firmly pl

    Title or Location: Cleveland Museum of Natural History
    This photo was a part of the first roll of film I ever shot. I had just gotten my first SLR, and as a zookeeper at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, I thought it would be fun to start with some portraits of all my favorite critters. Scarlet the Red Fox was very curious about the camera and ended being the perfect model. Minolta X-700, expired Kodak Ultramax 400

    Title or Location: Cat Tales Wildlife Rescue, Spokane, WA
    I've lived in Spokane almost 15 years and had never visited the Cat Tales Wildlife Rescue in North Spokane. Finally got to visit and this wonderful tiger was posing for me as if I were directing it. I got several wonderful images but really loved this one. Taken with a Fujifilm XT-5, XF55-200mmF3.5-4.8 R LM OIS. Post processed with Skylum's Luminar Neo.
